Q. Methods of breeding for acquiring disease resistance are I. conventional breeding techniques II. mutation breeding III. radiation breeding Chose the correct option

A) I and II
B) I and III
C) I only
D) III only
Explanation

Breeding is carried out by the conventional breeding techniques or by mutation breeding. The conventional method of breeding for disease resistance is that of hybridization and selection. Mutation breeding is defined as the process of breeding by artificially inducing mutations using chemicals (like aniline) or radiations like (gamma radiation). This radiation breeding is nothing but the step of Mutation breeding
